Countdown to Birdsville
Well into countdown mode now so will post a few updates for those of you who have always wanted to travel to this Aussie adventure.
Birdsville is approx 1750 ks west of Brisbane close to the Sa border and has a normal population in the whole district of 103, this swells to between 4000 to 6000 for the annual first Saturday in September race meeting.
People get there by various means including Planes busiest airport in Australia on the Saturday morning, Cars mainly 4wds and like us Coaches.For the first time and this is my eleventh trip we have a sold out trip .On my trip we have people flying in from Victoria one from Perth and two Kiwis of all age groups.
The most common asked question to me is what is there to do out there, it has the most fascinating museum that i have seen a boxing tent is operation plus street stalls and of course the world famous Birdsville hotel.Entertainment at night from bands at the pub with a Friday dinner dance and Saturday ball and Friday and Saturday race meeetings the cup itself is worth $25000 this year and attracts a good field .
Anyone with any questions feel free to ask and i will answer them on my return also will attempt to post some photos
